I am still in love with chia seeds and eat them in different forms every day. My daughter-in-law Sarah is crazy about chia seeds also; she developed a berry jam that is sweetened with stevia and thickened with chia seeds. It is very quick and easy to make.
Chia Berry Jam
10 ounces of berries (defrosted frozen or fresh)
1/8 tsp of Bolivian stevia (I add a pinch more, to taste)
1/4 cup chia seeds
Blend 10 ounces of fruit until pureed. So far I have tried raspberry and strawberry, they are both delicious. Pour the fruit into a pint-sized jar or container. Add stevia and chia seeds to the pureed fruit. Stir about every 5 minutes for a half hour until the chia seeds hydrate, thickening the jam. Store covered in the refrigerator.
This jam is made with raw uncooked fruit so I am guessing that it will spoil in a week or so. We eat it so fast that I have not had any spoiling experience.
